LAKE JACKSON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tonight the campaign of 2012 Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul
sent an email to supporters regarding today’s caucus results from the
state of Maine. See below for a portion of comments from Ron Paul 2012
Campaign Manager John Tate.

“Ron Paul will win the most delegates out of Maine tonight.

“In fact, he will probably even win the ‘beauty contest’ straw poll the
media has already called for Mitt Romney – even before all the votes
have been tallied.

“In Washington County – where Ron Paul was incredibly strong – the
caucus was delayed until next week just so the votes wouldn’t be
reported by the national media today.

“Of course, their excuse for the delay was ‘snow.’

“That’s right. A prediction of 3-4 inches – that turned into nothing
more than a dusting - was enough for a local GOP official to postpone
the caucuses just so the results wouldn’t be reported tonight.

“This is MAINE we’re talking about. The GIRL SCOUTS had an event today
in Washington County that wasn’t cancelled!

“And just the votes of Washington County would have been enough to put
us over the top.

“This is an outrage. But our campaign is in this race to win, and will
stay in it to the very end.

“Congressman Paul’s message of liberty and Constitutional principles is
resonating with Americans everywhere who are sick and tired of the
status quo establishment, and we plan to take this campaign on to ‘Super
Tuesday’ and beyond.”
